#172635 - modulating the excitation
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Kai Klaas said:

Yes, of course. But again, the precision of these voltage dividers must be extremely high and the temp drift and long-term drift extremely low.

Ap, why don't you modulate the excitation voltage of the bridge by a AC signal? Then, you wouldn't need to battle with this annoyingly high DC offset voltage.

Kai , I did that stuff in the past but in the end I had to resort to AD598 for RVDT conditioning :). I explore 0.1% 25ppm resistors to be ok(0.4$/part from KOA speer) do you recommend other resistors? I can source from Taiwan 5ppm parts.For our info The sensor accuracy is 0.25%FS with 0.025%FS/C as span coeff .

stephan, Ti part you suggested fully fits the problem , will check this if discrete alternative fails .

Thanks/
-Ap
